Characterizing the Effects of Jasplakinolide on Mesostoma Ehrenbergii Primary Spermatocytes to Study the Role of Actin during Chromosome Movement
My thesis investigated actins involvement in chromosome movement and function in the spindle. Generally, its thought that microtubules drive chromosome movement. However, when microtubules are depolymerized using nocodazole in Mesostoma ehrenbergii, chromosomes continue to move. To determine what …

Mathematical modeling of biological dynamics
… which ensures an even distribution of duplicated chromosomes to daughter cells. We address the issue of how the spindle can robustly recover bipolarity from the irregular forms caused by centrosome defects/perturbations. By developing a biophysical model based on experimental data, we uncover the …
